[PATCH v2 5/6] powerpc/perf: Use Instruction Counter value

Mon Feb 13 04:03:14 AEDT 2017


Since PM_INST_DISP include speculative instruction,
based on the workload the dispatch count could vary
considerably. Hence as an alternative, for completed
instruction counting, program the PM_INST_DISP event
to the MMCR* but use Instruction Counter register value.
